Here’s what Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said in response to May’s challenge: “I welcome the Prime Minister’s decision to give the British people the chance to vote for a government that will put the interests of the majority first.

“Labour will be offering the country an effective alternative to a government that has failed to rebuild the economy, delivered falling living standards and damaging cuts to our schools and NHS.

“In the last couple of weeks, Labour has set out policies that offer a clear and credible choice for the country. We look forward to showing how Labour will stand up for the people of Britain.”

Our advice? Whatever you think of the situation at the moment, do not for a second assume that your vote doesn’t count. It does and it will and this might be one of the most important ways to exercise your right as a British citizen you ever have.

Can’t stress enough how much the young people in the UK NEED to vote in the #GeneralElection! We need to take control of our future!
